Sniper Actually Getting Jarate, Free Play Weekend Announced

 

Valve revealed what could be the final unlockable in the upcoming double update of the Sniper and the Spy. The Jarate was teased earlier as an April Fools joke has been realised as an actual grenade like projectile weapon.

 

Jarate is a thrown jar that splashes upon impact. When splashed on enemies, they take 35% more damage for a period of time. Jumping in water will wash off Jarate. Jarate is also able to short out Spies’ cloaking devices. When used on teammates, Jarate will extinguish any fire effects.


* Jarate is neither affiliated with, nor a substitute for, Karate.

 

The update should go live tomorrow. Valve has also announced it will be doing a free play weekend, so for those that don’t own Team Fortress 2 for some reason or the other, this is your chance to try it out.
